A wedding renewal service in the United Methodist Church (UMC) is a special ceremony where a married couple reaffirms their marriage vows. This service is not a legal ceremony, but a spiritual occasion that allows couples to celebrate their commitment to one another, often on a significant anniversary or after overcoming challenges together. The renewal service typically includes prayers, scripture readings, and the couple repeating or updating their vows in the presence of family, friends, and sometimes clergy.

A renewal of wedding vows can take place anywhere that is meaningful to you, such as a church, the mountains, by a river, on a boat, in the woods, … anywhere. Some common places in Aspen: The John Denver Sanctuary Park, the top of Aspen Mountain, Herron Park, The Meadows Resort, The St Regis Hotel, The Jerome Hotel, The Mollie Hotel, Aspen Community Church, the Roaring Fork River, the Colorado River, and more…
​
You can write your vows or adapt your original vows as a continuation of your commitment.

If you are interested in renewing your wedding vows, please reach out to Pastor J.R. Atkins at [email protected] or call the church office at 970.925.1571
